Mike,
Is that a picture of L.A. Guns in your post? I'm a big fan of this music. Did you ever see any of these bands live? Here is my list:
Skid Row, Pantera, Killer Dwarfs, Tangier, Cinderella X2, Winger, Faster Pussycat, Motley Crue X 3, Whitesnake X 2, Van Halen, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Kiss, Ozzy X2, Slaughter, Vince Neil, Bon Jovi X2, Ronnie James Dio, Motorhead, Tesla, White Lion, and Metallica. Have you heard about Rocklaholma?
